Google Blacklists CNet Reporters 377
An anonymous reader writes "Cnet News.com is reporting that Google is no longer talking to Cnet reporters. In an article about the search company looking for new executive chefs, the article states: 'Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News.com reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story.' Apparently, Google was angered by an article published earlier by Cnet where all sorts of personal information about Google CEO Eric Schmidt was included. The information was obtained from Google searches."

Are they saying you shouldn't use Google to invade privacy? If so, don't allow it in the first place.
Or is he just afraid people will learn he likes Elton John.

Seriously, what the hell are they actually good for? Biased reviews, news available elsewhere, and alleged 'gurus' writing columns that are either blindingly obvious or hilariously incorrect.
If I were Mr. Google, I'd refuse to talk to them purely because they're rubbish, never mind any previous articles and privacy concerns.

Yeah Drew Barrymore won't speak to me either despite all the flowers, postcards, and pictures I send.
Seriously. When did anyone have an obligation to do an interview?

For once could you at least attempt to impart an original thought rather than regurgitation the article? Sheesh, this one is just regurgitating the article _summary_.

I never did that. So, I took your advice. Seems that I actually appeared in an old Francis Ford Coppolla movie. I guess I never knew....

Would it really have been that difficult to type six more letters? You went to all the trouble of typing up an entire comment saying nothing, and then you want to save on six keystrokes. You could have used a comma and periods instead of the useless ellipses and come out almost even.
